Melted spark plug wire!!! YIKES!!!

So i figured out why my car was running like crap. I pulled one of the wires and found that where the top of the plug was sitting inside was all MELTED!!! And when i took the plug out (which was loose!) I found that oil had dripped down onto the tip causing it to misfire. This is what happens when u dont torque down plugs to spec, actually all my plugs were loose. Good thing i got a torque wrench last week. Sooooo thank god it wasn’t my distributor making it run like ass, but can anyone tell me why in the hell the plug wire boot started to melt and burn???:mad: :mad:

Because they got hot:D
